A typical solution is a homogeneous mixture with only one phase; a suspension is a nonhomogeneous mixture.
For a colloid the answer is more complicate: the appearance is homogeneous, single phase but at a microscopic scale the system is not homogeneous.
a mixture of rocks an mierals
Yes..of course.
Coarse mixture
No it is not a colloid. Colloid is a kind of solution in which the size of solute particles is intermediate between those in true solutions and those in suspension.
A colloid is a mixture of solid particles suspended in a liquid.
Muddy water is a suspension because the particles in a suspension are small, not settled, and separate if left undisturbed like in the most common kind of suspension made of silt and water.
Suspension
Yes..of course.

No it is a compound.
Coarse mixture
No it is not a colloid. Colloid is a kind of solution in which the size of solute particles is intermediate between those in true solutions and those in suspension.
Colloid is not a true solution they both differ from each other. Colloid is a kind of solution that scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders it path visible while a True solution is a kind of solution that scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders it path visible .
